Frequently Asked Questions

Apply to MCC (How do I get Started)?

The MCC orientation is online. You can go back to the orientation any time to review information.

How do I connect with an academic advisor?

To reach a specific academic advisor, visit Advising Staff, where you will find each advisor's contact information.

SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?

To schedule advising appointments, call 531-MCC-2400. Appointments can be scheduled at any of our campuses or centers. Click Advising Appointment for information on how to prepare for your advising appointment and what to expect.

CHECK MY GRADES?

Your final course grades are found in your My Way account. Click "Student Planning" and then "Grades"

In your MyWay account click on "Self-Service," "Student Planning," "Plan and Schedule." If you need additional assistance, call Registration at 531-MCC-5231 or go to your local campus My Way Center.

Please be advised that there are deadlines to drop courses and that dropping classes can affect your financial aid. For further information on the impact dropping courses has on financial aid, contact the financial aid representative on campus or call 531-MCC-2330.

If you are an F-1 international student, contact International Student Services at 531-MCC-2281 before dropping classes.

If you have questions or concerns about changing your major (academic program), please meet with an academic advisor. You can complete the Academic Program Change Request Form to start the change process. Although the form is available 24/7, Academic Programs will only be changed during the time between the conclusion of one academic quarter and the end of the second week of the next academic quarter. Requests for academic programs which have an application and admission process (LPN, ASN, Respiratory Care, Medical Assisting, Fire Science, etc...) will not be processed this way. They will be processed through the respective Academic Dean's offices after the student is admitted to the program.

Career Services is also a great resource for career exploration—especially if you're undecided!

If you are an F-1 international student, follow the process listed in the Change of Educational Level/Major form because academic advisors do not change majors for F-1 students.

Know what Classes to Take?

You should only enroll in classes required for your declared major. You can review your major requirements in your My Way account in an academic evaluation. To access your Academic Evaluation, click "Self Service," then "Student Planning," then "My Progress" to see what courses are needed to complete your degree.
